Analysis of Companion
Soft green light filters to the ground
The air is thin and cool.
A teeming quietness settles
Dry pine needles send out stacattos.
A bird cries a sorrowful song
Wishing for its absent mate.
There is no reply.
Time stops,
Pupils dilate.
Breaths of fearful apprehension,
and
Restless thoughts itching in thy chest.
Grief
A silent stalker
Hovering in every corner.
A whispering wind
Carrying the words long ago spoken, Soaring high above the ground.
I am with you.
